Buck Rogers: The Guardians
We open our latest adventure with Buck and Hawk exploring a lifeless world when a sudden wind kicks up and our heroes encounter a dying Harry Townes near a grave. Genre fans know him from The Twilight Zone and Star … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Journey to Oasis
So you remember that episode of the space-show where Mark Lenard played an alien diplomat who helps avert a war? He had a thing for an earth woman too… Journey to something or other… what was it? There’s also blue … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Time of the Hawk
Season two starts with new opening credits – thankfully same intro and song, but different cast – and another real feather in the cap, so to speak: no preview sequence showing what’s coming. Unfortunately, the episode is a little laughable … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Flight of the War Witch
The season one finale to Buck Rogers is nearly perfect, and that’s a surprise even to me. I’ve been enjoying this series even though some of the episodes have been a bit lackluster because the cast has been so good. … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Buck’s Duel to the Death
The last few episodes had lame titles and equally lame stories. I had high hopes that I’d learned the secret with this series and that this episode would be epic. In fairness, it’s not bad, it’s just a few miles … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Space Rockers
I’m starting to think the titles tell us all we need to know; they certainly give away enough to know which episodes are going to be real yawn-fests. Space Rockers opens with a new low in what SF writers thought … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: I Dream of Jennifer
I love when writers show their love of other genre series in their scripts. However, I take issue with it when they ignore the work of the show they are writing for. I get it: the writers are into the … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Olympiad
I realize I’m biased: when a sports themed episode turns up, I know I sort of drift away from the start but this episode really is weak. I also realized, now that I’m an adult, that most of the shows … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Twiki is Missing
You’ve got to laugh when an episode gets a title that only really matters for the first 20 minutes of the story. After that, Twiki may be kidnapped, but Buck is with him, knows where he is and is never … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Ardala Returns
I’ve said before when referring to all of the shows we watch: they can’t all be winners. And I stand by that with Ardala Returns because most of the episode had me waiting for something exciting to happen and, if I’m … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: A Blast for Buck
Synchronicity is a weird thing. My sister happened to get my post about the end of the year, which opened with me asking where time goes, only to immediately get another email opening with the exact same question. The day … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Happy Birthday, Buck
It’s a bit depressing coming off Space Vampire to get such a mundane story. In reality, none of these episodes have tread new ground, but they are all varying degrees of fun with old plot lines. However, this episode is just a … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Space Vampire
I didn’t know when to expect this in the season (I’ve been going through these without looking ahead), but I knew it was coming at some point and was so happy to revisit this one. I never forgot it, although … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Cruise Ship to the Stars
Look up Space: 1999 and the first few words on Wikipedia is “…a British Science-fiction television programme that ran for two series from 1975 to 1977.” Look up Buck Rogers and you’ll find, “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Escape from Wedded Bliss
Let me get this right: Ardala is back and she is searching for a human husband and the top of the line is a guy she met once for a few minutes? First off, isn’t Earth the enemy of the … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Cosmic Whiz Kid
Oh dear, what have we got here? When this series starts, I rapidly zip past the opening scenes of what’s to come because I think that’s a deplorable thing to do with an episode. I realize this is sort of … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Planet of the Amazon Women
I get it: this show is based on a pulp serial from “back in the day” but did they have to embrace the history so well by coming up with such cheesy names? Planet of the Amazon Women features none … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Unchained Woman
I’m starting to think half the fun of these episodes is seeing who I’ll recognize. The volume of celebs that were part of this series is really amazing me and I am enjoying seeing who turns up from my childhood. … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: The Return of the Fighting 69th
This is an unexpected episode because I was surprised by the premise. It features a group of aging fighters being called out of retirement to help with an attack on an enemy base. I’m not really sure it makes sense … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: The Plot to Kill a City
I have to say I was genuinely surprised to find another two part story so close to the start of this series. It’s not unheard of to do a longer pilot, so having the first story go on for 2 … Continue reading
